CJL/RCL 29(2), 1984 201 peoples\* is carefully documented, as are their problems of language maintenance. The chapter on the Indians and the Inuit is far from comforting reading. The account of the constitutional and social status of Indian and Inuit is as carefully done as anything else in this book. It too is balanced against the uncomfortable reality of different social and cultural systems badly misunderstood by both sides. Thus legal obligations, particularly as they relate to land, do not mean the same to both contracting parties. Again Wardhaugh might have been aware that throughout the whole history of European colonialism land transactions have been a running sore. This is not a book to be read if you are prone to nightmares. It underlines the lack of a Canadian national identity, or rather its replacement by strong regional loyalties. In fact, as an immigrant this was one of the first things that struck me. And its gloomy tone will certainly raise hackles if it falls into the wrong hands. However it is well worth reading, both for the account it gives of a confused linguistic policy, and for its research prowess.
